[ laughter ] that's not a title. that is describing what happens. [ light laughter ] it's giving away the ending. you're not gonna want to read this. like three pages in, when the italian billionaire shows up, you're like, "i know. you're gonna be bedded by this dude, and it's gonna be ruthless."

[ light laughter ] let's look at the recipes here. yeah, here's a great recipe right here. hash oil and coffee. let's see how you make this here. it says, "several drops of hash oil can be dissolved in a hot cup of coffee with cream added." that's not a cookbook. that's just a let's-add-pot-to-random-food book.

"penis enhancement surgery: a self-help guide for men," by faiz ansari, r.n. r.n. that means he's a registered nurse -- [ laughter ] -- giving advice on penis enhancement surgery. not quite making sense. this much makes sense here. he's a talented guy here. it says, "faiz ansari also writes novels under the pen name, "ska child." [ laughter ] let me get this straight. he's a nurse who calls himself ska child, and he wants to talk to me about surgery on my penis? [ laughter ] yeah. thank you, faiz ansari. [ applause ] i'm sorry. i don't want to read it. this next one is a d-i-y book. i love those. they're always interesting. this is "footwear: shoes and socks you can make yourself." [ light laughter ] never thought of making my own

shoes and socks. kind of cool actually. let's take a look at this guy here. yeah. this is probably why. i don't think this is for feet. i don't know what that is for. [ laughter ] what is that? [ scattered applause ] [ light laughter ] next up is a mystery book, a good mystery book here. this is "the teed-off ghost: a hawaiian golf mystery." [ laughter ] this is a subject that hasn't been tackled yet. [ laughter ] it's about an angry ghost who likes to play golf, i guess. decent swing, but i got a lot of questions when i see this here. he's clearly using a ghost golf club, so is he hitting a ghost golf ball, too? i mean, i didn't realize ghosts could bring golf equipment into the afterlife. it's very, very cool to not read.

next one here is a kid book. this is "puppets go to church." [ laughter ] really? looks like it should be called "giant angry puppets attacking churches." [ laughter ] [ scattered applause ] this is scary for children here. [ light laughter ] we're down to our last book here. this is a military strategy book. called "warfare in the enemy's rear."

and the roots and i were on a float. >> i remember. >> jimmy: and we're going down sixth avenue? >> you were going down central park south. >> jimmy: central park south. >> wait a second. i was with my nieces, and i looked up, and i see jimmy fallon, and i turn into like a one direction crazy stalker. and i start screaming. and i'm with my two nieces, and i go, "you guys --" one's 6 and one's 2 -- i go, "that's jimmy fallon." so, they go, "jimmy, jimmy!" and you turned around and waved to us. and it was a special moment in the kotb family, so thank you. >> jimmy: oh, my goodness. i'll tell you what. we love you. [ applause ] we love you so much. both me and the roots, and we were hanging out there. and i was on the -- and kathie goes like, "jimmy, jimmy, jimmy, hoda. jimmy, hoda, jimmy, hoda." and i'm like, "what are you saying? what are you --" "hoda kotb, she's right there!" i'm like, "what?" and then, all the roots -- we were like one direction. 'cause like, "hi, hi, oh, my god!" [ laughter ] just ignored everyone else in the crowd screaming at you.

your nieces are probably, like, "this is the weirdest life in the whole wide world, yeah. where are the wiggles? yeah, where are the wiggles?" this is -- i got to say -- look at this. you guys look fantastic on the cover of this magazine. but -- [ cheers ] you -- you're going through a rough time. you're going through a rough time right now on the fourth hour of the "today" show. >> this came at a price, this cover. >> jimmy: it really did. >> we had -- it was bad. >> jimmy: you're not drinking the whole month. >> the worst decision -- no, we have ever made. >> jimmy: ever made ever. >> i'm watching your drinking segment before this, and i'm feeling parched. >> jimmy: shaking. [ laughter ] >> no, it was not great. >> jimmy: wait, so what happened? "ladies' home journal" said, "uh-uh"? >> they said, "we'll put you on the cover if you guys don't drink." >> jimmy: really? >> and we said, "we promise we won't drink on the air." and then -- so we counted the hours. we thought, there were 23 other hours in the day. >> jimmy: of course. you could probably squeeze it in some day. but you haven't been drinking. >> we haven't. >> jimmy: how do you feel? >> it's not as fun. [ laughter ] i'm sorry. >> jimmy: you're being honest. >> it's not as fun. >> jimmy: not as fun.

>> and our guests are like -- 'cause now they've become -- you know, you've been on the show -- you're used to, like, having a little beverage. we like to greet people with a little love. >> jimmy: it's loose. it's cool. >> i know, it's a little weird. >> jimmy: speaking of your guests -- >> what? >> jimmy: we had a little controversy on our show. >> controversy? >> jimmy: yes. >> what happened? >> jimmy: a little controversy on our show. chelsea handler came on, and she said -- she said, yeah, actually, "i lied and i cancelled on the 'today' show this morning. i lied to them." >> we were so -- she not only lied once, jimmy, she lied twice. >> jimmy: she did? >> yeah. first of all, she said she couldn't come on because she had food poisoning. so, we had -- you know how it is on the show. you have, like, a hole, and it's fine. so, we -- then, all of a sudden, we turn on the tv at night, and she's on with you on the same day she had food poisoning. and she told you that she hit her head on the shower -- >> jimmy: yeah, yeah, yeah. >> -- and that she couldn't come. >> jimmy: yeah, and that she couldn't come, yeah. too hard. >> and then, she was with you, but said she couldn't come to us. and then, we kept ragging on her, and then, ultimately, she said she was sorry and she sent us some wine.

that's what happened. >> jimmy: wait, how long did this beef last? >> it only lasted a day and a half, and we were -- we were kind of bummed 'cause we sort of like a little -- >> jimmy: yeah, you wanna get a little drama there. she was like -- >> perez hilton likes a little drama. >> jimmy: but chelsea doesn't like the drama. >> chelsea doesn't -- but you know what? the whole reason we're drinking anyway on the show is all because of her. that's the other deal. she came on the show, and she has that book, "hello, vodka, it's me chelsea." >> jimmy: of course. >> and so, we want her to feel at home, so we gave her some vodka. >> jimmy: very nice of you. see, the gracious, gracious hosts that you are. >> a week later, brooke shields came on, and she said, "well, where's mine?" and we said, "your what?" she said, "where's my drink? i saw chelsea got one." and then, our floor director became a bartender and the whole place -- [ laughter ] >> jimmy: you owe it all to -- [ applause ] chelsea handler helped you out. >> yes. yes, indeed. >> jimmy: it is my favorite hour. >> it is? >> jimmy: i could watch you guys all day long. i love it so much. i just don't know what to expect. i don't know what you're gonna do next. i just love it. and then, you have serious segments. you have -- but it's all in fun. >> it is, it is. >> jimmy: and it says here -- it says -- >> what does it say? >> jimmy: "hoda and kathie lee -- the most fun can you have on

morning tv. >> wait, would you read that again? >> jimmy: and i -- read that. "the most fun you can have on morning tv," and i -- right here. and i totally agree, as always, with "ladies' home journal." [ laughter ] we always -- we're like twinsies, yeah. i want to talk about your book. >> yeah. >> jimmy: again, i can't say more nice things about you, but i love the idea about this book. >> yeah. >> jimmy: can you just explain it? >> real quick. this is a book where we found some significant events in six people's lives. kind of tragic events or scary events, and we fast forwarded ten years to see what became of them because i think for all of us, we're at the front end sometimes of something scary and we wonder how we're gonna survive ten minutes, much less ten years. >> jimmy: yeah. >> these people are all incredibly inspirational, so if you're feeling in a funk in the fetal position, these people can help pull you out. >> jimmy: yeah. 'cause you get to that thing, you're like, "things couldn't get worse." >> yes. >> jimmy: "life just sucks right now." >> yes. >> jimmy: and these are six stories where life turns out to be pretty awesome. >> it turns the beat around, and i'm telling you, no matter what you're going through -- >> jimmy: i love that reference.

yeah, there you go. >> do "whistle baby." >> jimmy: -- with "turn the beat around." i love it, yeah. >> but it is one of those things that no matter what you're going through, you'll look in this book and you'll say, "you know what? they're going through worse, and if they can do it, i can do it." it's that kind of a book. >> jimmy: can you just tell the story -- i love the story about -- i'll just say roxanne. >> roxanne. roxanne quinby is this woman -- she lost three waitressing jobs. she had a couple of kids. she was in maine. her life was not going well. on the roadside, she sees a weird, kind of lumberjack-y looking guy sitting in a lawn chair, and he's got a big pickle jar full of honey. and he's trying to sell it, and she says, "what are you doing?" says, "i'm trying to sell this honey." she said, "no one's gonna buy it in a big pickle jar." she says, "let me jar it up for you. and can i get a cut? i need a job." he says, "have at it." so, she starts doing it. people start buying it. and she says, "what do you do with the wax from all this honey and the bees and stuff?" and he says, "oh, i put it in a little shed." she starts making candles. people buy 'em. and she says, "you know what? we need a name for this company. you know, if people are really loving it." she goes to where he has all of his hives. they're covered with all kinds of barbed wire, and she sees a

sign, and it says, "burt's bees." and she goes, "burt's bees." she ended up selling her company, $350 million. come on!
